What I Eat

Being in this profession I get asked a lot of questions.  Everything from exercise, weight-loss, what I think of trendy diets, how to build muscle, how to lose weight quickly……but the question I get asked the most is “What do you eat?”

When I answer people are often surprised by what I say.  Sure I eat veggies, fruit, protein, but I also eat pizza, dessert and ice cream.  What I practice in my life is: everything in moderation.  I don’t eat dessert or pizza every night, maybe 1 time a week.  What I eat day in and day out is veggies, fruits, proteins and complex carbs (brown rice, oatmeal, 100% whole wheat).

When I mention that, I usually hear people say, that sounds boring, it’s too hard to cook all the time and/or eating healthy is too expensive.  So I took a picture of what I ate on a Tuesday for lunch…….it was none of those things……change your mindset and your body will change.

This is a baked sweet potato, veggie burger and 3 cups of mixed greens.  My veggie burger is Morning Star Roasted Garlic and Quinoa it takes 90 seconds to microwave.  The greens I just pulled out of the fridge and put them on my plate.  The sweet potato I did have to bake for 45 minutes, but I did it while I was working.  You could also bake it the night before or on the weekend then just reheat it when you are going to eat.

The meal cost me: $2.92 per serving!  That is cheaper then Hamburger Helper and even McDonald’s!!!!

 

All that is required to eat healthy is a little planning and a mindset change!  If you really want it, you can do it!
